Washington, d. C. Dec. I9.-Public
business has made but slow progress
this week. A number of bills were
introduced in the senate, but the
house is still in statu quo. The APP
pointment of the committees has been
delayed somewhat by the Theobe-
Carlisle contest. The house, however,
will get down to work on the 5th of
January, and will then dispose of
business with dispatch. The only day
of any interest in the house was on
Friday, when Reed, of Maine. opposed
the motion of Hatch, of Missouri, to
adjourn from the 18th of December to
January 4. The member from Maine
charged that the democrats were only
delaying public business, which Mr..
Hatch and other members resented
and claimed that it would greatly expe-
dlte business to adjourn until after the
appointment Of the committees. Reed
also declared that his party was
anxious for an opportunity to vote to
reduce the tariff, and the democrats
replied that they should soon have the
opportunity, and that when they had
always voted against the reduction.
In the discussion the republicans
virtually admitted that they were
agreed to vote for the repeal of the
tobacco tax, and as the democrats have
also likewise expressed themselves.
that one question may be regarded as
settled.
1t is rumored that Senator Chandler
OF New Hampshire is bitterly opposing
of
tary Lamar as associate justice of the
supreme court, but there is not the
slightest doubt of his confirmation. A

vote for it, but many of them viii, and

"A CLOTHING manufacturer tells a
Chicago Herald reporter that it is a
very singular fact that within the last
two or three years new demand has
sprung up in relation to clothing in
tended for the western trade, particu-
larry for the Kansas and Iowa market.
This new wrinkle is for exceedingly
large and strong hip-pockets in trous-
ers. For the far west trade,'' said
this gentleman, ''hip-pockets have to
be narrow and deep, and very well
sewed, for the reason that everybody
out there carries revolver or pistol of
some sort in his trousers pocket. But
that is not the kind of a pocket they
want in the Kansas trade. There they
require great big pocket, with a wide
mouth and a capacious interior. Why
do they want that kind of pocket?
Well, never having sold pantaloons at
retail in Kansas, cannot tell you, but
do know that q good many of the
men in the trade habitually speak of
trousers with very large pockets as
quarts while those with smaller
pockets are known as 'pints.'''
